Studies were conducted to identify Aeromonas sp. isolates collected from disease affected carp fishes (Cyprinus carpio and Labeo rohita), their antibiotic sensitivity pattern and sensitivity to 121 herb extracts. A total of 19 Aeromonas sp. isolates were identified from a total of 84 different isolates through a series of physiological, morphological and biochemical tests. Seven antibiotics viz., streptomycin, chloramphenicol, erythromycin, sulphamethoxazole, cephradine, oxytetracycline and gentamycin were tested by disc diffusion method where all of the Aeromonas sp. isolates were found sensitive to streptomycin, erythromycin and gentamycin. But, 78.95% of the isolates were found resistant to oxytetracycline. In addition, 5%, 11%, and 16% isolates exhibited resistance to chloramphenicol, cephradine and sulphamethoxazole, respectively. Twenty one percent of the isolates showed multiple resistance to the antibiotics. A total of 121 herb extracts were evaluated for their sensitivity to the fish pathogenic Aeromonas sp. isolates. Among these, 23 herbs were found to possess antimicrobial activity. Leaf extracts of Eugenia caryophyllus, Spondias pinnata and Terminalia chebula were found to inhibit the growth of all the Aeromonas sp. isolates. In this study, multiple antibiotic resistant isolates were also found to be sensitive to several herb extracts. Thus, herbal treatment would promise a greater viable solution for effective treatment of fish disease.DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/pa.v21i1-2.16758 Progress. Agric. 21(1 & 2): 117 - 129, 2010

Introduction: The genetic competencies of bacteria and the resistance have been impeding the usefulness of antibiotic therapy. There has been an alarming increase in the infections caused by Acinetobacter spp. especially the multidrug resistance pattern has narrowed the therapeutic ranges. Objectives: To determine the prevalence and antibiotic sensitivity pattern of Acinetobacter spp., among clinical specimens of tertiary care hospital.Study Design: Descriptive study. Place & Duration of Study: Pathology Department, PGMI, from January 2015 to December 2015. Materials & Methods: Total 8465 clinical specimens were inoculated. Acinetobacter spp. was identified and isolated by the preliminary microbiological and biochemical tests. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was implemented by modified Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method as per CLSI guidelines (2015). Results: Acinetobacter spp. isolated in 234 (7.29%) clinical specimens among 3208 (37.89%) culture positive isolates. Out of total 234 Acinetobacter spp. isolates 144 (61.54%) were recovered from male patients and 90 (38.46%) from female patients. the frequency of Acinetobacter spp. isolates was seen highest in CSF (23.07%) and lowest in HVS (5.52%) specimens. Maximum samples were recovered from surgical wards 85 (36.32%), while from pediatrics department only 20 (8.54%) samples. Only, 140 (59.82%) isolates were sensitive to tigecycline; while 216 isolates were (92.30%) resistant to salbactam. Conclusion: The progressively increasing threat of Acinetobacter resistant infections can be minimized by judicial use of antibiotics, and implementation of strict infection control policy in health care settings.

Background: Mortality from bacteraemia related to indwelling Central Venous Pressure (CVP) lines could be as high as 12 - 25% and that due to indwelling urinary catheters about 5%, in critically ill patients. Hence, initiation of early and aggressive antibiotic therapy, often even before the culture- sensitivity reports are available is necessary. Objectives of the study was to find out the incidence of bacteraemia  related to indwelling CVP catheters &/or Foley’s catheters in post operative patients in Cardio-thoracic  Intensive Theraputic Unit (ITU) and to understand the antibiotic sensitivity patterns against the organisms causing such bacteraemiaMethods: 48 hours after their insertion, CVP catheter tips, Foley’s catheter tips and Peripheral blood samples were collected for cultures in 50 patients who underwent elective cardiothoracic surgery, over a period of one year and results were interpreted.Results: Incidence of bacteraemia associated with indwelling CVP catheters was 8% and was caused by both - Gram positive (Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecium) and Gram negative (Acinetobacter baumanii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) organisms. Foley’s catheter was not related to such blood stream infection.  Vancomycin and Linezolid were effective against the Gram positive organisms; while Piperacillin- Tazobactam, Meropenem, Polymyxin B and Colistin were effective against the Gram negative organisms.Conclusions: Indwelling CVP catheters were associated with blood stream infection in 4 post operative patients in our ITU. An idea about the organisms responsible, as well as their antibiogram may help in early initiation of antibiotics empirically before culture-sensitivity reports are available.

Background: Microbial pathogens cause human skin and soft tissue infections (SSTI) and surgical site infections (SSI) after surgical procedures. These can result in the production of pus, yellowish fluid comprising of dead WBCs and cellular debris. The microorganisms responsible for pus production vary greatly in relation to their spectrum of prevalence in different hospital and also in their antibiotic sensitivity. Further, the antibiotic sensitivity also changes because of the emergence of resistant strains. It is therefore, important that the common bacterial pathogens causing infection in a particular hospital and their sensitivity should be known. This will help in the choice of prophylactic antibiotic and in initiating the empirical antibiotic prescription for the infected cases before the culture sensitivity report is made available which takes about 2-3 days. Objective: To identify the spectrum of aerobic bacteria which are responsible for SSTI and SSI and their antibiotic sensitivity pattern. Method: This cross sectional hospital based study was conducted in Nepalgunj Medical College and Teaching Hospital (NGMCTH), Kohalpur from January 2019 to November 2019. These pus swabs were obtained from the Department of Surgery and Department of Gynaecology & Obstretics. Samples were cultured in the Microbiology laboratory of NGMCTH, Kohalpur. Identification and characterization of isolates were performed on the basis of Gram staining and cultural characteristics. Antibiotic sensitivity test was performed in vitro by Bauer-Kirby method. Collected data were statistically analyzed using SPSS 20.0 and Microsoft Excel 2015. Results: During the study period, a total number of 311 pus swabs were obtained among which only 164 (52.73%) pus swab showed bacterial growth. Out of 164 pus swabs, 150 pus swabs yielded monomicrobial growth (150 bacterial isolates) and 14 pus swabs yielded polymicrobial growth (33 bacterial isolates). Gram Negative Bacteria (60.1%) was more prevalent than Gram Positive Bacteria (39.9%). Combined together, the most common isolate was S. aureus (36.1%) followed by E.coli (24.0%), Klebsiella (14.2%), Enterobacter (11.5%), Pseudomonas (9.8%), S. pyogenes (3.3%) and Proteus (1.1%). S. aureus was highly sensitive to Doxycycline (90.6%), Chloramphenicol (81.5%), Amikacin (79.5%) and Ceftraixone (72.7%). S. pyogenes showed 100% sensitivity to Cefexime, Amikacin, Chloramphenicol, Azithromycin and 80% sensitivity to Doxycycline. Similarly, most common gram negative isolate E.coli showed higher sensitivity to Chloramphenicol(71.4%) and Amikacin (66.7%) , Klebsiella showed higher sensitivity to Doxycycline(92.3%), Gentamicin(87.5%) and Amikacin (81.0%), Enterobacter showed higher sensitivity to Amikacin(90.9%) and Pseudomonas was highly sensitive to Chloramphenicol (71.4%) and Amikacin (66.7%). Piperacillin, Amikacin, Gentamicin, Ofloxacin and Ceftriaxone showed 100% sensitivity to Proteus spp. Amoxyclav, Cefepime and Cefexime (except in S. pyogenes) showed least sensitivity in both gram negative and gram positive bacterial isolates. Conclusion: In our study, the most common isolate wasS. aureus. Amikacin, as a single drug was found to be effective for empirical therapy of both gram negative and gram positive bacteria whereas Doxycycline and Amikacin was found effective in gram positive isolates. Amoxyclav and Cefepimewas commonly resistant in all bacterial isolates.

Introduction: Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media (CSOM) is one of the major cause of preventable hearing loss if treated promptly. Emergence of resistant strains in the world is of great concern. The aim of the present study was to determine the aetiology and antibiotic sensitivity pattern of bacterial isolates from CSOM cases with special emphasis on Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Materials and methods: Ear swabs were collected from 212 patients attending otorhinolaryngology department, GKMC, Chennai was processed in Microbiology lab. Direct gram staining was done and then inoculated into Blood, MacConkey and Nutrient agar. Bacterial identification was done using standard microbiological techniques. Antibiotic susceptibility was done by Kirby Bauer disc diffusion technique. Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was detected by Cefoxitin disc diffusion method as per CLSI guidelines. Results: 60 Gram positive bacteria were isolated from collected ear swabs. Staphylococcus aureus 46(26.59%) was the most common bacteria among Gram positive organism followed by CONS 9(5.20%) and Enterococci 5(2.89%). Staphylococcus aureus showed 41(89.13%) was sensitive to amikacin and 40(86.95%) to ofloxacin. All the Gram Positive cocci were 100% sensitive to Vancomycin and Linezolid. 19.53% were confirmed as MRSA by cefoxitin disc diffusion method. Conclusion: Microbial pattern can vary in different location in different periods of time. Hence knowledge of appropriate aetiology and antimicrobial resistance pattern of CSOM helps in rational use of antibiotics and control of drug resistance.MRSA is emerging as an important pathogen in CSOM. Empirical antibiotics should be directed to gram positives, and especially, MRSA should be taken into consideration.
